With globalization fast becoming an irreversible process, it is
necessary to pay increased attention to the implications for
environmental sustainability. However, the so-called environmental
Kuznets curve (EKC) argument implies that rapid economic growth in
many developing countries should be environmentally unsustainable.
Environmental Sustainability addresses this dichotomy and
articulates a notion of consumption sustainability that is both
universal and pertains to the indefinite future. Additionally, it
emphasizes the importance of addressing a broad spectrum of sources
of environmental degradation and relates this measure to an index
of economic achievement more complete than per capita income. As
well as the EKC, authors Jha and Murthy also critique the
Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) and empirically
substantiate the proposition that a certain type of development in
the presently high-income countries is primarily responsible for
global environmental degradation. Several policy conclusions for
global environmental management are also advanced. Throughout, Jha
and Murthy comprehensively evaluate existing approaches to
environmental sustainability and critically review empirical
studies of environmental degradation, and economic development,
making this an invaluable source of information for those concerned
with environmental economics and political economy.
